Hello! This account is all about finding the space to breathe and focus in our hectic teaching lives. It’s these spaces (sometimes only a few nanoseconds long) which allow us to find the most useful response to enable our pupils to learn, progress and self regulate.

Pertinent reminder for Christmas term… 😊
It’s better to slow down rather than break down. Take time to rest

“When we acknowledge what we are grateful for, every situation feels a little more workable.” Susan David.
Noticing the smaller everyday moments changes far more than we realise. Gratitude gives a little breathing room to move through today and everyday!

I’ve tested positive for influenza A. The closest to this that I’ve felt is when I had swine flu. I had the flu jab but the virus got me anyway. Can’t leave bed, can pick up my phone for very brief periods. It is utterly horrendous and anyone who say they have flu and is still walking, doesn’t.

A little locker note reminder for anyone who needs to hear it today: you are an amazing person who deserves good things. Sometimes we all need someone to tell us that, even if it's just a random note on the internet.

I’m a great fan of downloading my brain to a list. Before you go to bed write a list of all your open tabs. Maybe even put post it reminders where they’ll be useful or set a calendar reminder on your phone. Download to let your brain shut down 😊
